- FC Anyang have won three of the last four K-League 1 meetings between the clubs, including a 2-1 away win three months ago.
- FC Anyang have drawn their last two matches, 1-1 away against Daejeon Citizen in the opening round of K-League 1 2026.
- Jeju United are undefeated in their last five games, winning three times and tying twice.
Tactical duel should be open and entertaining
Jeju United sit ninth with one point from their opening K-League 1 2026 game, a 0-0 draw with Gwangju FC, but the visitors will be looking to build on the momentum generated by a perfect two-game away run.
Sérgio Costa has done a good job since taking over the head coaching role at Jeju United, instilling a more possession-based, high-tempo style of play with more intensity in the press. His players, when fit, can dominate possession and create a lot of chances by playing a structured 4-3-3 system, although the FC Anyang vs Jeju United prediction suggests that the team’s ability to make the final pass and finish off the opposition has been lacking.
Anyang have been a different proposition since Byeong-Hoon Ryu has been at the helm. Since taking over in December 2023, he has emphasised tactical flexibility and defensive organisation on the field. In light of these changes, this FC Anyang vs Jeju United preview highlights how the tactical matchup could unfold.
Jeju’s attacking strength may edge it
The home side will set up in a pragmatic 4-4-2 system for Sunday’s clash, keeping the defensive shape compact, their men in disciplined channels and looking to counter attack as soon as they can. Therefore, our FC Anyang vs Jeju United betting tips lean towards a tactical clash of styles that suits an open and fast-paced game, so we’re going with an FC Anyang win in a high-scoring match and both teams to score.
Anyang’s Matheus Oliveira Santos, who has one goal in one K-League 1 2026 match, has been their main source of goals and creativity recently, contributing three assists and directly involved in four goals in the last five matches. On the other hand, the latest FC Anyang vs Jeju United prediction notes that Jeju’s best chance of causing an upset will be if Yuri Jonathan continues his fine form in front of goal; he has scored two of the club’s last five goals.
